Verdict
STREET POET continues to stay one step ahead of the handicapper and bids for a fifth consecutive success at the course. Only 3lb higher than his latest win, Michael Herrington’s charge has already beaten the likes of Engrossed, Nezar and Critical Thinking and can do so again. Cape Victory returns to the all-weather and may give the selection more to think about but Dragons Tail saves his best for Chester and Mainsail Atlantic continues to struggle and is dropped in trip.
